Answer:
B) Stamp Act, Boston Massacre, Intolerable Acts, Lexington and Concord
Step-by-step explanation:
All of these events are related to the beginning of the American Revolution.
Stamp Act
Passed in 1765, the stamp act required American colonists to pay a tax for all paper goods (such as newspapers and pamphlets). This represented how British Parliament was exerting more control over the colonies after the end of the Seven Year War. The Americans believed that the stamp act was unfair because colonists had no representation in British Parliament.
Boston Massacre
In 1770, a group of colonists was protesting the presence of British soldiers in Boston. The soldiers were in Boston to enforce acts passed by Parliament, such as the Stamp Act. The colonists threw rocks and insults at the soldiers because they felt as though the soldiers were occupying the city. One of the soldiers ended up shooting into the crowd, causing the other soldiers to do the same. This resulted in the deaths of 5 colonists. Some patriots such as Samuel Adams used this event as a reason why colonists should fight for independence.
Intolerable Acts
In 1774, the British Parliament passed a series of acts, originally named the Coercive Acts, as a reaction to the Boston Tea Party and the actions of other colonists in Boston. These acts were extremely strict and intended to punish Boston for defying the British government. Many colonists thought that these acts were inhumane and nicknamed them the "Intolerable Acts."
Lexington and Concord
In 1775, the first battle of the American Revolutionary War occurred. American anger had been growing as a result of the events listed above until it broke out into fighting. Minutemen assembled at Lexington and Concord to fight off the British soldiers. Shockingly, the Americans defeated the British at Lexington and Concord, proving to the world that America stood a chance in the war.
Remembering the Timeline
It can be difficult to remember all of the dates for specific events in history. However, it can be easier if you remember that all of the events above are connected to each other. If you attempt to remember the causes and effects of each event, like how the Intolerable Acts helped cause the battle of Lexington and Concord, then it can be easier to remember their order.
